When players complete Batman's latest Rocksteady-developed adventure, they can look forward to replaying the game without being forced through the game's gadget progression system.

Rocksteady's Dax Ginn has revealed that Batman: Arkham City will feature a 'New Game Plus' mode, allowing players to begin the adventure again with everything they've collected, upgraded, and unlocked available to them.

According to Ginn, you'll "need" all the help you can get in the second playthrough because all enemy configurations will change in the second journey. Also changing? Enemy impact notifications, meaning no more icons to show players when an enemy is about to strike.

"You'll have to read their animations coming in," Ginn told GTTV.

Batman: Arkham City comes out for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on October 18th.
